temporary insanity
October 20th, 2008 by i-dont-need-menI thought i am pathetic then i realized he is hopeless. It all seemed funny now, my stupidity and his infidelity. Its as if on times like this my brain refuses to acknowledge reasons, as what other people says intellectual being refrains to use their common sense when it comes to love. Its not that i denied to see his flaws and shortcomings its just that i kept making excuses for his attitude towards me. Little did i know that by making excuses for his actions i made myself vulnerable to hurt and long hours of contemplating if its all worth it. Eventually by shutting my eyes on his unwillingness to reciprocate what i felt for him back then, it signals an unspoken permission for him to take me forgranted. His infidelity woke me up from my delusions. He never really love me. Maybe i loved him too much to realize that he is being unfair. I forgot that in a relationship two person must exert effort for it to work out. In my case i feel like being on a boat with him beside me, the thing is im the only one whose holding the paddle for the boat to advance. I kept on rowing even if my muscle hurts, i continued to row until such time that my muscles decided to give up, it became sore enough to make me quit. i surrendered because i know that i’ve done my part. I’m tired of anticipating something from himn. I’m sick of all his never ending excuses and apologies. I thought i would be different but unfortunately im not. I tried all my best to look good for him, now i realized that i dont have to hear his compliment to feel pretty because deep down i know that im beautiful. With him i always wanted to be perfect, too perfect i tend to be pretending all along. Although he does make me smila and laugh, he took care of me and sometimes i felt special, but still i wanted out because the negative outweighs the positive. I dont want to be always the one waiting for him. I dont want to guess all the time if he really loves me. I dont want to be his doormat. I want to stop making him my priority, enough of my foolishness. Now its over and done, i know better and i definitely know my worth. I dont deserve him and i deserve better. I’m ok now and im fine besides arent we allowed to make mistakes sometime? Now i decided to love my self above all. So that next time that ill be inlove again ill make sure not to lose myself in the process. Now I can smile and laugh when i remember him, honestly i dont feel any bitterness. Another chapter of my life has ended and indeed im excited ti start a new one. A new beginning….
